Run whatever tire pressure you feel comfortable with. I cranked my 23s up to 120 PSI, and while it did feel faster it also gave me a punishing ride. I had to look out for ever crack and bump which took some of the fun out of riding. For me, 90-100 PSI works well, but then again I weigh 130 lbs. (I also run the front at 5-10 PSI less than the rear.)

Question: does running too high a pressure put you at risk for bending a rim? The way I see it, if the air in the tire isn't taking the hit something else must be.
